Operation
Once your refrigerator has left the Sabbath mode, the bale
arm of the ice maker needs to be pushed downward until it is
no longer in the detent. This will restore power to the ice
maker.
Setting the Controls
Set controls precisely with a household thermometer that
includes temperatures between -5° to 50° F (-21° to 10° C).
Checking the Temperature (freezer)
Place the thermometer snugly between frozen packages in
freezer section. Wait five to eight hours, then check the
temperature. If the freezer temperature is not to F
(-17° to -16° C), adjust the temperature control one number
at a time. Then, check the temperature again in five to
8 hours.
Checking the Temperature (refrigerator)
Place the thermometer in a glass of water in the middle of
the refrigerator. Wait five to eight hours, and then check the
temperature. If the refrigerator temperature is not 38° to 40° F
(3° to C), adjust the control one number at a time. Check
again after five to eight hours.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, handle tempered glass
shelves carefully. Shelves may break suddenly if nicked, scratched, or
exposed to sudden temperature change.
Spillproof Shelves
Your refrigerator's spillproof shelves are
constructed of polypropylene molded
around the glass and metal rail. This
design means that the shelves are
completely enclosed and liquids can't
seep under the glass. This localizes spills
and makes clean-up easier. Spillproof
shelves also adjust to meet individual
storage needs.
NOTE: Foods and beverages placed on
the uppermost shelf under the air vent may freeze.
Shelf Adjustment
You can adjust the shelves to match the way you use your
refrigerator. To remove the shelves, tilt the shelf up at the front
releasing the hooks from the shelf support, then pull the shelf
straight out.
To replace shelves, guide the rear hooks of the shelf into the
slots in the shelf supports. Then, tilt the shelf up at the front
until the hooks drop into the slots, and lower the front of shelf

extended period of non-use.
You will be able to dispense water by pressing a sturdy, wide-
mouth drinking glass or container against the water dispensing
pad. To stop the flow of water, release the pressure. A small
amount of water may continue to fall into the spill shelf located
just below the dispenser. The spill shelf is not self draining, so
large spills should be wiped dry.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
Do not operate dispenser with freezer door open.
Do not put fingers, hands, or any foreign object into dispenser
opening.
Do not use sharp objects to break ice

Ice Dispenser Operation (dispenser models only)
Your refrigerator's ice dispenser allows you to select either
cubed or crushed ice by sliding the lever on the ice dispenser
panel. A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed
and crushed modes, and pieces of crushed ice will vary in size
and shape.
Once you have made your
selection, dispense ice by
pressing a sturdy, wide mouth
drinking glass or container
against the ice dispenser pad.
You should release pressure
before the container is full
because some ice will continue
to fall.
NOTE: You can reduce the spray
of crushed ice by holding the
wide-mouth container directly
under the ice chute and as high
as possible in the dispenser area.
If your refrigerator is dispensing ice continuously, the
dispenser’s motor is designed to shut off automatically after
three to five minutes. The motor will then reset after three
minutes and dispensing can continue.
When you repeatedly dispense crushed ice, “snow” may form
on your the door and on the ice chute. You should allow
“snow” to evaporate on its own, or you can wipe it dry.
NOTE: The ice and water dispensers will shut off if the
refrigerator or freezer door has been left ajar for ten minutes.
Operation will resume when the door is closed.
Removing Ice Bucket
You can remove the Ice Bucket by simply lifting the bucket and
pulling it out. To replace it, slide it back in until the bucket locks
in place. If the freezer door will not close, the bucket is not in
the proper position.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly into a thin
glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.

Water Dispenser Operation (dispenser models only)
Wait a couple of minutes after connecting your refrigerator to
the household water supply before attempting to use the water
dispenser.
NOTE: Discard first ten to fourteen containers of water
dispensed after initially connecting your refrigerator to the
water supply. Do the same after your refrigerator has an
extended period of non-use.
You will be able to dispense water by pressing a sturdy, wide-
mouth drinking glass or container against the water dispensing
pad. To stop the flow of water, release the pressure. A small
amount of water may continue to fall into the spill shelf located
just below the dispenser. The spill shelf is not self draining, so
large spills should be wiped dry.
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, observe the following:
Do not operate dispenser with freezer door open.
Do not put fingers, hands, or any foreign object into dispenser
opening.
Do not use sharp objects to break ice

Ice Dispenser Operation (dispenser models only)
Your refrigerator's ice dispenser allows you to select either
cubed or crushed ice by sliding the lever on the ice dispenser
panel. A slight delay occurs when switching between cubed
and crushed modes, and pieces of crushed ice will vary in size
and shape.
Once you have made your
selection, dispense ice by
pressing a sturdy, wide mouth
drinking glass or container
against the ice dispenser pad.
You should release pressure
before the container is full
because some ice will continue
to fall.
NOTE: You can reduce the spray
of crushed ice by holding the
wide-mouth container directly
under the ice chute and as high
as possible in the dispenser area.
If your refrigerator is dispensing ice continuously, the
dispenser’s motor is designed to shut off automatically after
three to five minutes. The motor will then reset after three
minutes and dispensing can continue.
When you repeatedly dispense crushed ice, “snow” may form
on your the door and on the ice chute. You should allow
“snow” to evaporate on its own, or you can wipe it dry.
NOTE: The ice and water dispensers will shut off if the
refrigerator or freezer door has been left ajar for ten minutes.
Operation will resume when the door is closed.
Removing Ice Bucket
You can remove the Ice Bucket by simply lifting the bucket and
pulling it out. To replace it, slide it back in until the bucket locks
in place. If the freezer door will not close, the bucket is not in
the proper position.
CAUTION
To avoid property damage, do not dispense ice directly into a thin
glass, fine china, or delicate crystal.

Food Storage Guide
Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-
proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer. For
dated products, check use-by date to ensure freshness.
To store leafy vegetables, remove store wrapping. Then tear off
bruised and discolored areas. Wash the vegetables in cold
water and drain, and then place them in a plastic bag or plastic
container and store in your produce drawer.
For vegetables with skins, such as carrots and peppers, store in
plastic bags or containers.
When refrigerating or freezing fruit, wash the fruit and then let
it dry. Store the fruit in plastic bags. Don't wash or hull berries
until they are ready to use. Instead, sort and keep berries in
their original container in the produce drawer, or store in a
loosely closed paper bag on the refrigerator shelf.
Store eggs without washing them. Keep eggs in their original
carton or in your refrigerator's egg bin.
Wipe milk cartons. For best storage, place milk on an interior
shelf.
Keep opened butter in covered dish or closed compartment.
When storing butter in the freezer, wrap it in freezer packaging.
When you have leftovers, cover then with plastic wrap,
aluminum foil, or store the leftovers in plastic containers with
tight lids.
Store meat in its original wrapping, as long as it's airtight and
moisture-proof. Rewrap meat if necessary.
NOTE: When storing meat longer than the recommended
times, freeze the meat.
The Meat Savor™/PRODUCE Drawer is ideal for longer term
meat storage because the temperature can be set to
colder.
Recommended storage times:
Chicken 1-2 days Bacon 5-7 days
Ground Beef 1-2 days Cold Cuts 3-5 days
Steaks/Roasts 3-5 days Variety Meats 1-2 days
Cured Meats 7-10 days
NOTE: Use fresh fish and shellfish the same day as purchased.
Food Storage Guide
Packaging Food for Freezing
The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging; the way
you close and seal a package of food must not allow air or
moisture in or out, or the quality of the food will deteriorate
while frozen.
Packaging you should not use for freezing includes:
Bread wrappers
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
Containers without lids
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
Recommended packaging:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
Plastic-coated paper
Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from saran film)
Zip-top freezer bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing
methods.
Freezing Foods
Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze large quantities of
food; do not load more than two to three pounds of unfrozen
food per cubic foot within 24 hours. Leave enough space for air
to circulate around packages, and be careful to leave enough
room at the front so the freezer door can close tightly.
A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled one, and a
freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of baked
goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen,
although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose
of it.
Storage times will vary according to the quality of food, the
type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof),
and the storage temperature, which should be
to F (-18° to -17° C).

Saving Energy
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity with these
simple tips:
Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what
you need before you open the door. Get everything out at
one time. Keep food organized so you will not have to
search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is
removed.
Do not overcrowd the unit so air movement is blocked.
Do not set the unit to temperature colder than necessary.
Vacation Tip
When you will be gone from home a short time (less than four
weeks), there is no need to shut off your refrigerator.
However, be sure to:
Use any perishables.
Freeze other items.
Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off
(up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker.
If you will be away from home for a month or more, follow
these guidelines:
Remove all food.
Turn the power disconnect switch to the off position.
Clean the unit and door gaskets according to the
“Cleaning and Maintenance” section on page 33.
Prop doors open with rubber or wood blocks so air can
circulate inside. This will keep odor and mold from
building up.
Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off
(up) position and shut off water supply to the
ice maker.
Power Interruptions
If electric service to your refrigerator will be interrupted for 24
hours or less, keep the doors to the freezer closed. This helps
food stay frozen.
If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours, remove all
frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker, or place two
pounds of dry ice inside the freezer for every cubic foot of
interior volume. This will keep food frozen for two to four days.
Be sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice
burns. If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, you should
use or can your perishable food at once.
Troubleshooting
Understanding Sounds You May Hear
Your new refrigerator may make different sounds than your old
one. Hard surfaces, such as the ceilings, walls, and cabinets
around the unit can make these sounds seem louder. However,
these sounds are normal and will soon become familiar; they
indicate that your refrigerator is working properly.
Here are some of the noises you may hear and what they are:
Freezer or refrigerator fresh food fan: sounds like air
rushing or whirling
Sealed system (evaporator and heat exchanger)
refrigerant flow: sounds like gurgles, pops or boiling
water
Defrost heater: sizzles, hisses or pops
Condenser fan: air rushes and whirls
Compressor: has a high pitched hum or pulsating sound
Ice maker valve hookup: buzzes when ice maker fills with
water. This occurs whether or not the unit is connected to
water supply. If the unit is not connected to water supply,
stop sound by raising ice maker arm to off position.

Saving Energy
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity with these
simple tips:
Open the door as few times as possible. Think about what
you need before you open the door. Get everything out at
one time. Keep food organized so you will not have to
search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is
removed.
Do not overcrowd the unit so air movement is blocked.
Do not set the unit to temperature colder than necessary.
Vacation Tip
When you will be gone from home a short time (less than four
weeks), there is no need to shut off your refrigerator.
However, be sure to:
Use any perishables.
Freeze other items.
Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off
(up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker.
If you will be away from home for a month or more, follow
these guidelines:

Turn the power disconnect switch to the off position.
